Stream: Atu f. Asante, “Lately”

Atu, a 20-year-old producer from Ann Arbor via Malawi, released Pictures on Silence this spring, streaming below in its rad entirety (proceeds go to EveryChild, a child's rights charity serving Malawi). Newly released bonus cut "Lately" features another Michigan-based African transplant, Asante, from Ghana, and like the album it makes fantastic use of Atu's classically trained piano skills and sense for working in swoony falsettos. It feels a bit like falling through a puddle into another city entirely.
